Verdict
Jaybeedee has been done no favours by the raising of the weights and looks to have plenty to do, while Pure Fun, although capable of a big run doesn't look straightforward. Castle Clear has been a revelation since switching back to hurdles, having lost his way over the larger obstacles and although he is nine, he may still have further improvement in him.
